Blood Work! "True Blood" Recap 4.8: The Lyin', the Witch, and the Wardrobe

Brian and Andy joined me last Sunday night on Talk Blood Radio - we had lots of fun!

"On The Infamous Shower Scene ( or Snow Sex!) Alexander Skarsgard says " he loved it!

“I loved it. It was so beautiful, they tried to recreate a winter landscape up in northern Sweden, and they did an amazing job. It was really special. It was a lot of fun shooting – and quite complicated with wind machines going and fake snow everywhere. It was very technical and kinda tough, but it really was very special. They spent weeks building it, and we spent a day or two shooting it. I’m excited to see it because being there on the day it looked so good. I hope fans like it.

True Blood picks up the pace but Jessica got no game by Alex Cranz Fempop.com

The lovely Alex will be joining us again this week on Talk Blood radio !

This is the True Blood I used to love to watch. Big and crazy things happen in every scene and things almost never get tired and slow (more on this shortly) and everyone’s life seems to intertwine. It’s when True Blood is going a mile a minute that it works best. Like Vampire Diaries only rated R and less vanilla in the skin tone department.

The show is running what feels like a hundred story lines concurrently and somehow, in last night’s episode, they managed to all move forward. No one was treading water, no one was swimming backwards, and by the end of the episode it felt like they all had hopped onto a motorboat and were heading downstream and…this metaphor has gone on for far too long.
No F that. I love that metaphor. I will cling to it with my dying breath, but mainly because I want to say that Jessica was totally the captain of that motorboat down Plot River. Last week she was a little concerned about her relationship with Hoyt and this week she was doing this

True Blood trips balls on a V-juice hump-hump-fest by Meredith Woerner

Don't miss our hilarous conversation from last night on Talk Blood Radio .

Last night on True Blood, Eric and Sookie took us deep into the snow shower of their imagination! You'd think that humping on a bunch of animal hides in the snow with a Viking Vampire would be more exciting.
But let me explain it to you, Pro/Con style.
This week we picked up right where we left off, THE SUN SUICIDES. Was anyone worried about Jessica killing herself and Jason getting shot? Neither was I. But I will say that the other totally fake death was terrifying. But more on that later, let's get back to THE SUN THE SUN!

More Than One Way to Trade Identities on 'True Blood'- The Atlantic

This season, True Blood has been using (to good effect) the kind of character switcheroo that one would normally expect to find in acting classes—an actor playing one character playing another character (very Shakespearean or, if you prefer, Freaky Friday-esque). The actor playing Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell) has to play little heathen Tommy trying to act like older brother Sam—he did a great job with accent and body language in the previous episode. Dale Raoul (Mrs. Fortenberry) had a somewhat harder time of it this week, but got the point across by having very badly done hair and swearing a lot while selling away her land rights—really, it seems like Tommy isn’t even trying with his identity theft this time.

Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette) performs a spin-off of this acting exercise: Instead of being Character A acting like Character B, he has to suddenly just play Character B with no reservations, but still in the clothes and with the props of Character A. He does a great job of letting the ghost Creole lady sink into him, tweak his shirt primly, and walk out of his house humming, and continue on with whatever she’s up to. Why is the nice creepy sad singing lady taking a gun, and where did she hide it on Lafayette? Will holding the baby briefly be sufficient, so she can then replace Mikey and go to whatever afterlife awaits, or is this plot line going to get even creepier?

'True Blood' recap: Eric and Sookie get steamy LA Times

Eric and Sookie in the shower.
In Sunday's episode of "True Blood," "Spellbound," written by Alan Ball, one of the most talked about fan favorite moments from Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire Mysteries made it to the screen -- just as Ball had promised an audience at San Diego's Comic-Con International in July. The cryptic show runner had hinted that his version of the famous love scene between the two characters would possibly be "weirder and dirtier" than what was in the book, in this case, "Dead to the World," the fourth of Harris' Sookie Stackhouse novels. And well, it was weirder, or should we say trippier, given that Eric and Sookie were high on each others' blood and hallucinating?
But first things first. Jason bursts through the door to subdue Jessica before she can be consumed by the sunlight, having been lured out of her usual daytime slumber by the witches' powerful curse. Jessica regains control over herself and, realizing Jason just saved her life, kisses him. He brings her downstairs to Bill, who is still bound in silver. Concerned that the coven might have only temporarily broken the spell, Bill instructs Jason to bind Jessica with silver until nightfall. Trying to distract her from the pain, the perennially clueless Jason tells Jessica to think about good things -- like hot summer days, barbecuing. He means well, anyway.

Gothtopia True Blood : Finally, Some Freakin' Siouxsie

Jef will be talking to us this Sunday night on Talk Blood !

Look, we know that True Blood is a goth show only in the sense that it is the kind of thing that is of interest to goths, and not in the sense that is has any sort of inspiration from goth sources. Goths don't own vampires, we just sort of rent them from the teenagers and soccer moms lately.
Having said that, after four seasons of covering the music used in True Blood it's nice to finally get some real goth in the form of "Spellbound" by Siouxsie & the Banshees.
"Spellbound" comes from 1981's Juju, which was, for our money, where the Banshees really hit their stride. The Scream and Join Hands more or less coasted on Siouxsie and Steve Severin's initial brilliance, and the personnel changes that led up to Kaleidoscope give the album just a hint of desperation.

‘True Blood,’ Season 4, Episode 8, ‘Spellbound’: TV Recap

Summoned by Antonia’s kill-every-vampire-within-a-nearby-radius spell, Jessica is about to walk into the sun and meet the truth death. Luckily, Jason is nearby, having been alerted to the situation via the blood he exchanged with her earlier. He dashes through the doors and heroically (and somewhat hilariously due to the slow-motion) pins her to the ground. At first, Jess savagely flips him onto his back, ready to sink her fangs into his neck, but she realizes at the last second that he’s saved her life and is also pretty cute. She kisses him instead. Nice, True Blood writers! There’s nothing like a near-catastrophe to make two people who should have nothing to do with each other fall in love (See Ron and Hermione, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2.”)

Bill, ever the practical king, asks Jason to overlook the fact that Jessica killed a human guard in her attempt to meet the sun. Jason agrees, in exchange for Bill’s silence about the guard Jason himself injured on his way in. In a sweet and funny bit, Jason tenderly tells Jessica to think about good things as he re-chains her with silver, like hot summer days and barbequing. We love when Jason tries to be a nice guy, no matter how misguided.

Sookie’s dream on True Blood ( a three way !)

I guess this is when we get the " imagine them both in her life" scenes we've been hearing about.

The Aug. 21 episode of “True Blood” is must-see for followers of the phantasmagorical, socially relevant and often hilarious series. Not only is the witch-versus-vampire war at full pitch, with various “shifters” running loose in the night, but Sookie has a dream sequence that will be much buzzed about: a fanciful feminist take on the vampire/human/vampire three-way. Something not everyone has considered before…
In a season mulling the ideas of altered identity, stolen identity and faked identity, (when does one’s most humane part excuse one’s basest behavior? when do we all engage in shape-shifting and masquerading?), the intimate relations of the three central characters remain compelling. A wild, invigorating ride.

What you need to know about tonight's True Blood Episode 4.08: “Spellbound

Episode #44 (#4.08): “Spellbound”: As Bill and Marnie brace for a dangerous midnight face-off, Sookie and Eric pledge their allegiance to the King. Jason is torn between friendship and passion, and Jessica is spurned from two homes. Lafayette becomes the pawn of a tormented spirit; Tommy takes a walk in someone else’s shoes; Sam contends with yet another adversary in Marcus, Luna’s ex and the leader of Alcide’s new pack.

Bb123: Dying for some True Blood…especially on Jessica dying. Is she still alive?
I believe so, yes. I’m told that we’ll soon see her inside the witch store with Fiona Shaw, watching Bill (Stephen Moyer) out in front doing something very bad. Like, you know, life or death kind of bad. Oh…I’ll just come right out with it: Bill kills someone! Or, more accurately (not grammatically though) is that Bill kills someones. As in plural. Also hearing that Tara (Rutina Wesley) somehow injures her arm, and Jason (Ryan Kwanten) will be packing (up) something other than heat. Lots of good stuff coming up.
